Twenty-first Century Men with a Mission

Procol Harum activity since 2000


When Procol Harum convened as a nine-piece rotating line-up to celebrate their thirtieth birthday (Redhill, 1997) the foregathered fans generally believed it was the last time we should hear that great music played live. Yet here we are, shortly before Procol Harum kick off their 2009 festival-headlining appearances, with some 143 gigs on the post-Redhill roster – pretty nearly a gig a month, on average, covering seventeen countries. In addition, of course, we've had another studio album, a download-only live album, and three concert DVDs (all details below); and the band have been working in the studio on new recordings. Not bad going at all!

The notes below do not include private Procol Harum appearances, such as those at Gary Brooker's Christmas fund-raising parties, nor those at the 'Beyond the Pale' parties such as Manchester 2001, Los Angeles 2003, and Lejre 2006; but they do include the 40th Anniversary Concert that 'Beyond the Pale' organised in London (2007) since that was open to the general public.

2003 (63); 2006 (17); 2005 (16); 2007 (16); 2001 (14); 2002 (11); 2004 (3); 2009 (2 so far); 2000 (1); 2008 (0).
